Letter: HHA residents back Garcia

The Hoboken Housing Authority Resident Advisory Board is aware of the special meeting tonight in City Hall as well as the resolution to terminate the contract of the executive director. The Resident Advisory Board plans on supporting the executive director as he has been instrumental in the positive changes that have occurred in the Housing Authority and has been a great leader.

During Superstorm Sandy, Executive Director Garcia spent sleepless nights ensuring the safety of his residents. The residents still ask where was our mayor?

This all stems from the infamous lawsuit the executive director has on the City of Hoboken, the mayor, her husband and former HHA Commissioner Jake Stuiver. The actions of the HHA board chairwoman, who is a "Zimmer supporter," has demonstrated she has a political vendetta and political agenda to fulfill.

The chairwoman has disrespected and mistreated the residents of this Housing Authority. Her dictatorship and attempts to shut us down has left the residents feeling intimidated, degraded and discriminated.

We are the most vulnerable population and to have a commissioner continuously go after and disrespect our executive director is intolerable. We will march in solidarity tonight at 6, from 221 Jackson St. to City Hall and will stand with and support our executive director.
